Starred Places marked as Private

A Screenshot of  "STARRED PLACES "  marked as PrivateA Screenshot of "STARRED PLACES " marked as Private

Hello Local Guides,

   I want to make an enquiry : Why are Starred Places always marked as Private on Google Maps?

How do I change it to Public view ?

Kindly give me some tips on how to do that.

Re: Starred Places marked as Private

@ohenebakatakyie207 Our own "starred places" are meant for our own private use as @MisterSawAye has suggested. 

If we want to create a list of places for public or to be shared specifically, we can create a new list and name it as we need appropriately. How to create a new list here. https://support.google.com/maps/answer/7280933

Once we created a new list with some places, we can choose to share it under each list settings.

Let us know if you need more help on this.

Because you marked them for youself to memorialize ,so it might not be for others.
